I’m grateful and proud to finally be able to share that I am joining WTTW News, Chicago's PBS station - an independent voice, with a celebrated track record of excellence in journalism, and an unrivaled commitment to serving the community.

Here is the announcement: Window To The World Communications, Inc. Names Hugo Balta as News Director, WTTW News

Chicago Tonight is an award-winning news program, recognized for providing greater visibility to issues on politics, education, culture, and other pertinent topics to all audiences - inviting conversation and debate. I’m excited about the opportunity to build on its renowned journalism legacy.

My family and I are elated for the opportunity to call Chi-Town home and join its richly diverse communities.

Borrowing from one of my favorite Ol' Blue Eyes songs...

My kind of town, Chicago is

My kind of town, Chicago is

My kind of people too...

...Chicago is

One town that won't let you down

It's my

My kind of town
